  1. Mimaki UCJV-300 Reviews

    I just ran across this post from several years ago... Could I please ask... are you still happy with the UCJV?
  2. Issues with MaxMetal recent inconsistent thickness

    Just ordered 25 sheets at a great price from Nglantz... Fingers crossed!
  3. Issues with MaxMetal recent inconsistent thickness

    I cannot be the only one having issues... We are having a huge issue with our latest order of MaxMetal. It seems to have high and low spots "tunnels" in the material. (where it has possibly been in contact with rollers before curing completely?) The "tunnels" go the length of the substrate which...
  4. Warranty... How is this interpreted?

    I have been quoted the JV100-160 but I am having a couple of issues. Dealer says replacing the AS5 ink with SS21 is absolutely out of the question according to Mimaki. My thought was to purchase a set of the SS21 inks and just shelf the AS5. Still this adds another $950.00 to the deal and I have...
  5. Horrible experience and problems with new Mimak UJF-7151 printer, support and service

    I am very sorry for all of your trouble. It truly seems you must have a lemon on your hands. I was just curious, is the printer still under warranty?
  6. Mimaki AS5 Ink- Any information?

    Yikes, APCink lost me at "isn't meant to be as long term as the SS21". We produce a lot of short term items but the old trusty SS21 can't be beat... Other than the HORRIBLE smell! Thank you all for your help!
  7. Mimaki AS5 Ink- Any information?

    We would be trading our SS21 Ink printer in on the new AS5 and will not be switching our ES3 printer over so flushing is not an issue. I HATE being a guinea pig! :)
  8. Mimaki AS5 inks???

    Mimaki's latest promotional offering for the JV100-160 includes a couple of sets of AS5 inks as well as other promotional items. It is my distributor's understanding that this promo will only work with the AS5 inks and SS21 cannot be substituted. We currently run a printer with SS21 ink set as...

  10. Bad head, bad test print, good quality prints!?!?!

    I have never replaced a head. I hear the process is fairly simple but the adjustments are very difficult and require precision.
  11. Bad head, bad test print, good quality prints!?!?!

    It is nearly impossible to get a good photo but the top right 7-8 blocks of magenta, cyan, yellow and sometimes even black are missing entirely. Or the yellow will print in place of the black at the top. The vertical lines are also wavey at the top of the colors. The head looks fine to the naked...
  12. Bad head, bad test print, good quality prints!?!?!

    missing nozzles in poor detail
  13. Bad head, bad test print, good quality prints!?!?!

    I will take a photo and post when I return to work tomorrow. Here's the rub... I am printing at 4 pass bi-directional fast speed! Virtually no banding whatsoever!
  14. Bad head, bad test print, good quality prints!?!?!

    A rather cryptic title, but... We have a JV33-130 that is giving us fits! We recently replaced the head on another 8 year old machine with similar issues and were thinking this 10 year old printer must have caught the same illness. With the entire top 1/4 block of the right side magenta and...
  15. Really hate to ask but... Any idea?

    I really hate to ask but... any of you awesome folks recognize the font used in the outer radius text? I am at a loss! With it being in an arch it makes it even more difficult. I have rotated the letters to run it through Find My Font and all the usuals but no luck! Any help is appreciated!
  16. Question New JV100-160

    We are having some head issues on a 10 year old JV33 and are thinking of rather than a head replacement, just replacing the whole printer with the JV100-160. Had to replace a head a couple of months ago on another JV33 and the cost difference would be 3X for a new printer but that 3 year...
  17. Oracal 651 15" punched no more?

    Wow, that is great to hear! Grimco has been saying all 15" punched Orafol products are on hold indefinitely and directing us to Avery and 3M. Most of those products are also being drop shipped from the manufacturers as well. I have been in the sign game for 30+ years and have never seen such a...
  18. Oracal 651 15" punched no more?

    We have tried both but the color palettes are very limited in both. I guess I was just mainly wondering if anyone has heard the true gospel concerning whether the Oracal will be back in production or home forever.
